Chapter 202: Merciless Barrage, Distorted Future!
"Conqueror's Infusion... how is this possible?"
At this moment, Saint Pierre almost couldn't believe this fact.
Although he judged early on that Roy's Conqueror's Haki was ridiculously strong.
He also knew Roy was attempting to 'Infuse' his Conqueror's Haki.
But judging from the previous battle, the latter was clearly far from mastering this skill completely.
But now...
Pierre could feel—the Conqueror's Infusion Roy displayed now was not just simple mastery.
Because from the opponent's Conqueror's Infusion, he felt no leakage of Haki at all!
This level of Conqueror's Infusion could almost be called... Flawless!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Pierre couldn't accept this fact.
"I don't believe it... how can this happen!"
He roared.
But just then, he discovered with horror—in just a blink of an eye, Roy's figure disappeared.
WHOOSH!
Moments later, he heard the sound of wind breaking in his ears.
[More-More Fruit (Moa Moa no Mi) LV5 · Speed Multiplier · 100x]
The next instant, Roy's figure appeared in front of him.
"Black Body Style Secret Technique..."
"Island Tilter!"
No intention of communicating, Roy threw a punch!
"Vector Manipulation · Blood Reflection!"
Seeing this, Pierre hurriedly activated his ability again.
But...
Zzt! Zzt!
He saw Roy's punch hitting the blood mist around him, but not reflected back!
On the contrary—in this instant, accompanying the roar of black-red lightning, Pierre found his ability completely unable to affect Roy at all.
"This oppression..."
Pierre finally confirmed—not a trick, the opponent was truly using Conqueror's Infusion at an extreme level.
That Emperor-level Conqueror's Infusion could even completely suppress his fruit ability!
BOOM!
The next instant, Roy's fist hit his face.
RUMBLE!
Black-red lightning erupted abruptly!
BANG!
The transparent bubble helmet on Pierre's head shattered instantly, and his whole body was smashed into the deck by this punch.
CRASH!
The World Government patrol ship 'North Blue Cross Star', forged by World Government craftsmen at huge cost, made a loud noise at this moment.
The alloy-forged keel was as fragile as tofu; the metal constructing the hull twisted instantly.
BOOM!
In just an instant, the entire ship was shattered by this punch directly. Debris of the deck and ship splattered, creating a huge dent in the sea surface below.
"Ugh!"
Pierre let out an unprecedented wail.
The armor made by ancient technology on his body began to crumble.
What panicked him more was...
VMMM!
Pierre could feel the change in the 'Deep Sea Contract' on his right arm.
The power belonging to 'That Lord' on his body was being forced back by the Conqueror's Haki carried by this punch.
The connection between his body and that Lord was cut, only the soul link remained.
Pierre understood the meaning naturally...
His 'Authority' as a God's Knight—the [Deep Sea Protection] brought by the Deep Sea Contract was temporarily dispersed.
From now on, he could be injured.
And more critically...
After this strike, he, who should have fallen downward, didn't fall now.
He was held by a hand.
On this battlefield, no one else could grab him at this time!
"You... you dare..."
Pierre looked at Roy with a stern expression, trying to issue a threat.
Then...
WHOOSH!
Next moment, he only heard the wind—he was thrown away.
Below...
"Sorry, my time is tight... no time to listen to your useless words."
Roy clenched his fists tightly.
His gaze didn't even look at Pierre, but at the island not far away.
Then...
His fist swung out again.
"Hado Fist · Conqueror's Infusion · Barrage!"
With his low roar.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
A series of scalp-numbing sounds of flesh and bone shattering rang out the next moment.
Pierre's body flew in the air like a broken kite, then hit by countless fists—the subsequent power carried by the fists even shattered the clouds in the sky constantly.
Arms, legs, torso... Pierre's body was shattered instantly.
THUD!
Until finally, only his head fell from high altitude, smashing heavily on the deck.
"Ah..."
But even with only a head left, Pierre was still alive—just judging from his rolling eyes, he clearly couldn't recover anytime soon.
Watching this, Roy wasn't surprised.
He knew Conqueror's Infusion could hurt God's Knights, even the Five Elders would be beaten back to original form by Joy Boy's Haki.
But according to the original story, mere Conqueror's Haki shouldn't be able to kill them.
After all, during the God Valley battle, Rocks hacked Garling and a group of God's Knights down.
But he couldn't kill them; instead, recovered Garling finished him off, achieving the legend of 'God Valley Kill Stealer'.
Based on Roy's current understanding of Rocks, he didn't think this world hegemon would show mercy to God's Knights.
The only possibility for not killing them was that he couldn't.
So Roy guessed—the God's Knight attacked by Conqueror's Infusion would have their 'Deep Sea Contract' temporarily suppressed.
They would be truly injured, even lose mobility.
But killing them should require other conditions.
The fact before him proved Roy's thought correct.
"My Conqueror's Haki is very strong."
Roy knew this well.
Since his Haki awakening originated from 'Joy Boy', one of the strongest in Pirate World history.
So although his Conqueror's Haki just awakened and had huge potential for development, its intensity was not inferior to Linlin's past.
As Pierre judged before, his Haki was indeed Emperor-level.
Besides that...
"What I manifest now is the 'Future of Mastering Conqueror's Infusion'."
Yes.
In fact, the reason Roy suddenly displayed such Conqueror's Infusion effect was simple.
[Age-Age Fruit (Toshi Toshi no Mi) LV5]
[Distorted Future · Future of Mastering Conqueror's Infusion]
As mentioned before, Bonney's 'Age-Age Fruit' was one of the most BUG fruits in the Pirate World.
Like what Roy displayed now.
He believed he would master Conqueror's Infusion perfectly one day, so he could manifest this 'Belief'.
Although stamina and mental consumption were high and couldn't be maintained forever, this power was genuine.
Now, he could indeed master the awakened part of his Conqueror's Haki perfectly.
He was confident that in this state, even without other fruit abilities, relying solely on Conqueror's Infusion against Kaido, he wouldn't fall behind.
But even so, he still couldn't kill Pierre completely.
"Speaking of which, indeed must have That Ability..."
Roy pondered internally.
But clearly, he had no time to think more now.
After confirming Pierre posed no threat in the short term, his gaze turned to Mont Blanc Island.
He could sense that on that island.
"Teacher Zephyr's aura is getting weaker—"
That was the biggest reason he gave up practicing Conqueror's Infusion and chose to use the 'Age-Age Fruit'.
And facts matched his thoughts.
Puru Puru! Puru Puru!
Next moment, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang.
When Roy picked up, he heard Hans' anxious voice.
"Chief—something happened, Admiral Zephyr's asthma attacked!"
